It's regrettable that dpkg-reconfigure doesn't have something like a

There's always the option of submitting something like that as a
reportbug wishlist item. I verified first using grub-pc. Had to flip
through over 500 bugs (*OUCH!*) to get to the point where you choose
wishlist, but it *is* there in the options regarding a bug report's
severity level.
Ouch. I most regret that I've spent much more time working round bugs
and arguably-missing features than I should have done, rather than
engaging with various distreaux's bug management systems and then
brushing up on my C, scripting and package management skills.
Story of my life: "I'm sure I can hack past this, after which I'll be in
the open and the way will be clear".
